whose ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF PULP FICTION WRITERS was mentioned a
while back. This, and his Robert Mitchum bio BABY I DON'T
CARE, are well worth reading - he's a good writer in total
command of his material.
*************** I thought that name sounded familiar. Is Lee
Server the one who wrote that high dollar noir book that Al
reviewed recently?
I've been going through the OVER MY DEAD BODY again this
evening and I've got to recommend it to anybody with a
beginning interest in the rise of the paperback, from 1945 to
1955. I say "beginning" interest because the book is not big,
and if you're already fairly familiar with the era, then most
likely it's all repeat information. Did I mention the colors
are BEAUTIFUL? Haha.
Just finished THE EVIL FRIENDSHIP, my 4th Gold Medal by Vin
Packer. Starting another tomorrow. Got the Hendricks MIAMI
PURITY in the mail yesterday. Nice-sized trade paperback.
Blurb says something about it doing naughty as all get
out.
